From the Desk of: Evangelist Michele Richardson - What's in Your Heart?

I was in a discussion about racism at it finest. A few knew that all races had been enslaved, but the next I made to a young lady; who stated "our people were treated worse then any other race". I told her "to be racist you are enslaved to the prisons of your ancestors life but forced to live in today's world being free but yet bound shame on you" is what I told her. In her statement to me took me by surprise, a young lady in her early 30's said "if being enslaved to my ancestors life means remembering what they went through and where they cams from, i'll be a slave for life..." I put my head down and began to weep on the inside and asked myself how can we as blacks keep remembering what was done to us, but Jesus who was treated inhumanly and the statement he made was "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". If he can forgive and forget what is wrong with us forgiving and forgetting? Just because some may treat you wrong but it does not excuse you from being humbled (does not mean weak).
We as humans are hurt by what our relatives go through and hate they very ones that brought them pain; I don't understand it. It is so easy to display hate but to truly claim to be a loving Christian one must live to serve his brother/sister. In Matthew 22:32 - 40 

32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducee's to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Racism has many form from denomination right down to your big toe or anything that is different from someone else. I feel people do this just to see what buttons they can really get you going and to see if you say what really is in your heart, because out of your mouth speaks the heart. Some of us have grown custom to speaking that which we think people want to hear (people pleaser is what that is) and never know who you really are. Me I am a sensitive one like the prophet Jeremiah but it is easy for me to speak from my heart because of the hatred I have endured by many for many reasons here and there. Many time I ended up in a ball and just cried or I cried and talked with God about what I went through and how I felt. All I know is that people who have a form of hatred toward someone else is due to they really do not understand why you are so different. There is a wall and they do not want to be freed from their wall of confusion. Everyone has hangs ups, but are your hang ups keeping you from enjoying God's creation in you and those around you? 

Proverbs 23:7

King James Version (KJV)
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 

While I am in this class of learning what is expected of me as the Pastor's wife and how to conduct myself I have found that my past does not matter, but it is my experience that they are after. Meaning everyone has a past but what did you obtain from it? Being as it may this class room can only be found by ones whom have a quest of learning something new everyday and can embrace what they have learned. Let me say this; an unwilling mind to understand can not obtain the wisdom within a lesson to be learned. To change your life is to change ones mind and the key to learning is to open ones mind. So your mind is mentioned here a lot so it has to be important.

People Pleasers

I AM SO SICK AN TIRED OF WISHY WASHY CHRISTIANS WHO ARE WHAT I CALL JONES AND SMITH CHRISTIANS...MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHAT IS IN HELL THAT YOU WANT?

MY OTHER QUESTION IS THIS WHAT DOSE CUSSING SOLVE AND WHAT DOES THE WORDS MEAN? SO BY CURSING OUT EACH OTHER MEANS THAT YOU ARE CURSING YOUR OWN VERY LIVES AND THOSE WHOM ARE INVOLVED IN IT. IT IS NOT A GENERATIONAL CURSE BUT A SELF INFLICTED CURSE. LOOK TO THOSE OF US WHO DO NOT USE SUCH DISRESPECTFUL WORDS; YOU SEEM UNEDUCATED AND CLUELESS. I DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS FORM OF NONE SCENES, BUT I BEGAN TO SILENTLY PRAYING FOR THE PERSON AND ONCE I REACH AMEN I AM DONE, AN I WALK AWAY.
I CHOOSE TO BE WHO I AM AND I LOVE BEING SAVED, SANCTIFIED, HOLY GHOST FILLED, FIRED BAPTIZED. YOU BETTER WATCH WHO YOU TALK ABOUT IT JUST MAY AFFECT YOUR LIFE.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL...



Matthew 7

King James Version (KJV)

Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.


Romans 6 - 23


King James Version (KJV)

19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Hebrews 10 :22 - 27

King James Version (KJV)

22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Attributes of the 1st Lady


I was seeking the Lord about the requirements of a 1st lady and wrote down the seven important things that I must apply to my life starting now. I am a 1st Lady in training and God is teaching me and showing how what I may say or do will effect everyone I may come in contact with. Not only that but I need to keep in mind that looking back means I am not fit for the kingdom of God. Luke 9:62 Preach and teach those things that are pure and true. Philippians4:8 
Attributes of the 1st Lady are:


1.) Possess the Proverbs 31 woman
2.) Possess the be Attributes Matthew 5 and Gal. 5
3.) Study to shew thyself approved 2 Tim. 3
4.) Love 1 Corinthians 13
5.) Duty of a wife 1Peter 
6.) Must know how to pray with and for her own husband and family and be a mentor able woman
7.) Know how to stand Eph. 6 and conversation be chased
BONUS
8.) Know her position is to lead beside her husband and not as a sheep a long side of the rest congregation.
9.) To be a mother not only to her children but also to the church.

To be looked upon as a Woman of wisdom and mature nature of things. Empowering women with the knowledge God has given to teach women seeking to marry and those who are single virtues and values that are Godly and confounded in the word.

 These are just to name a few...


Treat people the way you want to treated. Show oneself to be friendly and without prejudiced. Stick to the word of God.
